Hello,

My name is Frank Kitchen. I am the F.R.E.S.H. Mindset Expert. I work with Professional Associations that want their Members to Maximize their Potential and Produce the Tasty Results everyone desires. My Motivational Keynote Speeches and Training Programs energize, educate, and empower leaders to get hungry and transform their personal and professional dreams into reality.

I became a full-time speaker and entrepreneur on June 17, 2015. It was Father’s Day Weekend and I had just been fired by my employer. My son was 2 years old and my wife was 7 months pregnant with our daughter. I questioned how I was going to provide for my family. That weekend I committed to living my dream of being a professional speaker. I would apply the knowledge and skills I gained as an Award-winning Entertainer, College Student Leader, Toy Store Manager, Employee Trainer, Salesperson, Coach, and College Educator to start a thriving business.

With the support of my wife, family, and friends, I developed and executed the “Live F.R.E.S.H.” recipe I now share with audiences all around the world.

Today, my wife and I own the professional development company Frank Kitchen Enterprises. I have been blessed to speak professionally on numerous stages for professional associations, major corporations, schools, colleges, universities, nonprofits, and civic organizations.

When I’m not speaking, I practice what I teach by volunteering with the Hustle PHX as a mentor for aspiring entrepreneurs. I also raise millions of dollars annually for non-profits as one of the First African American Fundraising Auctioneers in the world.
